  • System and method for controlling the placement of fluid resist droplets
    Patent number: 12001137
    Abstract: A fluid dispensing system, an imprint lithography system with a fluid dispensing system, a method of manufacturing an article with the fluid dispensing system. The fluid dispensing system comprising: a fluid dispenser and a heater. The fluid dispenser configured to dispense droplets of a fluid onto a substrate. The heater configured to maintain droplet temperature at greater than 23° C. Each of the droplets has a fluid volume that is less than 1.2 pL. The fluid dispenser is configured to have a drop placement accuracy for the imprint resist fluid that is less than a first threshold when the droplet fluid temperature is greater than 23° C. The drop placement accuracy is greater than the first threshold when the droplet fluid temperature is less than or equal to 23° C.
